Hi Rodney
I think this may be the way you are accessing the ftp site. You need to use an ftp program of some sort, there are gui programs available, but it can also be done very simply from the command line with the program 'ftp':
Code:
>sudo ftp
ftp>open ftp.sap.com
Connected to ftp.sap.com.

This has downloaded the file. You need the JRE installed before you can install this though, and the current version in my example needs version 5 to run, according to sap note
Note 961487 - SAP GUI for Java: Requirements for Release 7.10
Follow the instructions in fedemw 's point 1 - I have used it today it is still a valid page.
Follow the "Installation of Self-Extracting Binary" or the "Installation of RPM" instruction depending on your distribution.
For ubuntu there is however a Synaptic package available - sun-java5-jre. I installed that and the SAPGUI for Java is working fine with it.
to check what version you have installed use
>java -version
SAP Note 959236 is the list of supported os's and java versions, but I can verify that sapgui for java version 710r9 does work on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
Note 959236 - Supported Java frontend platforms for 7.10 / 7.11 / 7.01
Follow the rest of fedemw's tutorial and you should be fine.
